HAMILTON KHAKI FIELD Movie: Interstellar (2014) Features: 42mm case, military-style design, leather strap and the H10 automatic movement. With a remarkable presence in over 450 major films, the Hamilton Watch Company has etched its name into cinematic history. For nearly nine decades, it has earned the title of the quintessential movie brand, thanks to its deep- rooted connections with Hollywood. What makes Hamilton particularly appealing is its blend of quality and affordability. These meticulously crafted timepieces offer exceptional value, making it easy for both film buffs and watch enthusiasts to own the models they admire on screen. Hamilton watches first captured the spotlight in the 1932 classic Shanghai Express with Marlene Dietrich, and they continue to make waves in contemporary cinema, featuring prominently in Christopher Nolan’s Tenet and Oppenheimer . Here though, we turn the spotlight on the standout watch showcased in Interstellar . The Hamilton Khaki Field Murph serves not only as a functional timepiece but also as a narrative device in the film. The watch is worn by Cooper, played by Matthew McConaughey, and symbolizes the connection between time and human experience, a central theme in the film. The 2024 Hamilton Khaki Field Murph edition makes the cinematic connection further enhanced, as Hamilton creates an interesting yet genius addition to the design. The seconds hand’s SuperLuminova plots are applied with tiny lines and dots that spell out “Eureka” in Morse code. This is a nod to the use of Morse code during communication between Murph and her father and makes for a charmingly subtle feature to further relate the watch to the movie. 212 | Simply Abu Dhabi
